SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,089, dated May 20,1884.

Application filed September 22, 1883.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PERRY E. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States,residing at King City, in the county of Gentry and State of Missouri,have invented a new and useful WVeather- Strip, of which the followingis a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a Weatherstrip for the lowerportion of the door which will shed the water from the outside andpermit the escape of any water driven inside of the door, as more fullyhereinafter specified. These objects I attain by the means illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a front viewof a door, showing my weather-strip in position; and Fig. 2 represents across-section of the door, sill, and weather-strip. Fig. 3 is across-section between the apertures E. Fig. 4 is a reverse view of thesill and Fig. 5 is a similar view, with the parts raised to show theirrelative location.

The letter A indicates the door-sill, and B the weather-strip, which islocated within the doorway, as shown. The said weather-strip is providedwith alongitudinal groove, 0, and an inclined water-shed, D, in front.From the groove extend a series of apertures, E, which connect with thechannels F in the under side of the weather-strip, to conduct any waterdriven inside of the door down to the outside,

where it escapes. The inner edge of the weather-strip is beveled, asusual, as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. G indicates a metallicstrip, upon which the door closes. The

channel F is located in a recess, II, in which 5 and do not wish to beunderstood as broadly 45 claiming anything shown therein.

Having thus described. my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in a weather-strip, of the 50 sill B, havinglongitudinal groove O, provided with apertures E and channels F, locatedin wedge-shaped recesses H, in which are secured the plat-es I andwedgeshaped blocks K, as shown and described.
